Access and arrival
Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is 93 km (58 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
The centre of Muncie is 2.3 km (1.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Muncie has 12 venues mapped in total and a population of 65,320. The Muncie guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
